William RAPLEY, marriage.Hello Tracy, I believe you have the wrong spouse for William RAPLEY, born 1754, Shipley, Sussex, England.

According to parish records at West Sussex records office William RAPLEY married Hannah Coomber, 20 April 1783 in Shipley, Sussex. James RAPLEY (Williams brother) and James Frillary witnessed the marriage.

Shipley Parish baptism records suggest the couple had 6 children, Hannah, Charlotte, Lucy, Fanny, Richard and William. They were all baptised in Shipley with Hannah recorded as their mother and William RAPLEY as their father.

I believe you have Patricia O'Brien buried in the wrong cemetery. If you look at the memorial number given above, you will see I have photographed her headstone in the Mathoura Lawn Cemetery, buried with Garry Maxwell O'Brien. It seems you also have her birthday off by about a year. You have the first memorial created and so many flowers! Please move the memorial to the correct cemetery as shown on the above memorial number and I will be happy to upload the photo. The "public" cemetery is really the Pioneer Cemetery which is down the adjacent road but is a completely different place. I will send you an email also as it does not seem you are very active on Find A Grave.

Thank you for the lovely note, unfortunately we are not related (that I know of). I transcribe cemeteries near me as pay back for all those who help me with my UK research.Would you like me to add the additional 'relative' info to the info I have?
